CHURN.

Patented April 30, 1907.

Annlication filed June 5,1906. Serial No. 320,320.

vented certain new and useful Improvements in Churns; and I do herebydeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable oth ers skilled in the art to whichitappertains to make and use the same.

This invention. relates to churns and more p arti cul arly its object toprovide a dasher which may be used in connection with any churn ofthevertical type and which will be extremely si'ml ple and cheap.

Other objects and advantages will be ap- '1 parent from the followingdescription.

In the drawings forming a portion of this specification and in whichlike numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views,Figure 1 is a side elevation of the present dasher. 2 is a top planview. Fig. 3 is a vertical section on line 3-3 of Fig. 2, taken throughthe angle irons, the shafts being shown in elevation. plan view.

Referring now to the drawings, shown. a churning top 5 having a centralopening 6 therein and. having secured thereupon an upwardly extendingmetallic yoke 7 having an opening 8 in its bight registering with theopening 6. A shaft 9 is revolubly engaged in the openings 6 and 8 andhas socured thereupon a bevel gear 10 which rests upon the churn top 5to hold the shaft against downward movement. SOG111'C(l11})(')11 the topat opposite sides of the yoke 7, there are a pair of upwardly extendingangle irons 11 having a horizontal shaft 12 journaled therein andextending above the yoke, and this shaft carries an operating crank 13.A bevel gear 14 is secured upon the shaft 12 and meshes with the gear10.

Mounted upon the shaft 9 below the top 5 and in close relation thereto,there is a cross to dashers therefor and has for 1 Fig. 4 is a bottomthere is 1 bar 15 which is thus arranged to hold the i shaft againstupward movement and a cross l bar 16 is secured to the lower end of theshaft 1 9 and extends parallel to the cross bar 15, these cross barshaving alining openings 15 y and .1 (3 in their ends which receive thetrunl these paddles having nions of paddles 17,

and. connecting rerounded end portions 17 duced necks 1S. 1 As will bereadily understood, the present mechanism may be used in connection withany churn having a top of the size to receive the top 5 and as churnsare generally manu 1 facturcd in standard sizes, the mechanisms may heproduced in corrcspomling sizes to suit different churns.

, It will be seen. that the shaft 1 the contents of the churn comingagainst the paddles 17 which cause them to revolve, and, as shown, theend portions 1.7 of the paddles extend slightly further beyond the axesthereof in one direction than in the other so that the paddles arerevolved. And when placing the dasher in a churn, the paddles are sodisposed that they will be rotated in opposite directions to give anincreased agitation to the contents of the churn. The top 5 is of coursearranged to fit the churn air tight and l the present dasher may be usedin connection l with a stone jar, as shown in llig.

\Vha t is claimed. is:

1 In a churn dasher, the combination with a shaft, of transverselyextending spaced cross bars carried by the shaft, and paddles jourinaled at their ends in the cross bars, said padl dles including roundedend portions and a connecting reduced neck, said end portions 9. isrevolved,

axes of the paddles than in the other.

In testimony whereof, l alhx my signz'rture, in presence of twowitnesses.
